Thanks for covering this period, which was completely ignored in the Ken Burns series. One key element about fusion that was not discussed here was the integration of musical forms from other parts the world, as exemplified by John McLaughlin and Shakti. Eastern philosophy also started to influence some of the music, as it influenced the culture as well.
I think Jack DeJohnette is the most versatile and fluid drummer in jazz history. A great composer and pianist as well. When people talk about jazz drummers, they tend to completely overlook people who came into their own after about 1970.
You say that because you don’t understand how to play free. I do and I know the difference. Between those who know how to play free and those who don’t know how to play free jazz
A type of jazz that takes repeated listening for appreciation and understanding

I’m a 43 year old drummer learning jazz and loving this series! Thank you.
A really underrated Chanel. I love jazz. Bebop is my style.
Who’s your favorite drummer? Elvin Jones And Tony Williams are my favorites. Art Blakey and Max Roach are early greats.

The reason it's called "Free Jazz", is because it's not worth anything.....
